Israeli military said Shambari was the head of the operations department in the military intelligence of the Palestinian armed militant group Hamas.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) on Wednesday said Iyad Ahmed Abd al-Rahman Shambari was the head of the operations department in the military intelligence of the Palestinian armed militant group Hamas.
al-Rahman Shambari was a key planner of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel which led to Israel-Hamas war after Israel carried out a ground operation in Gaza Strip, killing over thousands of Hamas terrorists along with civilians.
The ceasefire has largely halted the Gaza war that began after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
But violence has persisted, with at least 818 Palestinians killed since the truce began, according to Gaza’s health ministry, which is under Hamas authority and whose figures are considered reliable by the United Nations.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s civil defence agency, told news agency AFP, that four people were killed and six others injured when a drone fired two missiles at a car in Gaza City’s western Al-Rimal neighbourhood.
